Very spacious two bedroom flat with considerable character, forming the upper two storeys of an eighteenth century listed town house on the Esplanade in the centre of Lerwick, with shops and town centre amenities close at hand, and fine views across the small boat harbour to Bressay,

The bright & airy accommodation includes a large sittingroom, separate dining room with kitchen off, two double bedrooms, bathroom with bath & electric shower, and a large office. There is also a large shared store which can be used to store bikes etc. Electric storage heating.

The flat, which is being let fully furnished for a long term lease, would suit a couple or family, however because of the stairs it is perhaps not recommended for the very young, elderly or infirm. Prospective tenants should note that the property overlooks Commercial Street, Lerwick’s main shopping street, at the rear, which can have a noisy local night life.

Accommodation

Entry to the flat is via Greigs Closs, the lane to the side of The Peerie Shop / Café which leads to a large store shared with the shop, which provides plenty of space for bikes etc. A curved flight of stone steps leads to the entrance to the flat.

This schedule is intended only to help you decide whether to view the property. We always recommend you view the property personally.

The information is believed to be correct, but it is not warranted and is not to form part of any contract of sale. All dates, distances, areas and room sizes noted are approximate and for use as a general guide only.  Prospective purchasers should satisfy themselves as to the working condition or otherwise of any equipment such as central heating or kitchen appliances.

This schedule should not be taken as a comment on the condition of the property.  This is a matter for your surveyor and we recommend that once you have found a property you are interested in, you obtain a survey report.  We can provide details of surveyors if required.

Interested parties are advised to note their interest through their solicitor as soon as possible so that they can be informed if a closing date is fixed.  Noting interest does not place any obligation on the seller to set a closing date or to give any noted interests the opportunity to offer.  Whilst every effort will be made to advise noted interests of any closing date set, this cannot be guaranteed. 

No responsibility will be accepted for expenses incurred by parties who have noted interest but do not get an opportunity to offer, or for any expenses incurred travelling to properties which have been sold or withdrawn.
